That was cool! I liked the way he said Turbo Diesel...TwoBo D-sell!

The road test vidio was interesting...I thought I had too much body sway, but mine looks about normal

Theirs something to say about German engineering ,I think the roll over test shows why they made that rear hatch out of tank metal ,theirs a ton of steel in that door.

and they sure had a lot of 200 series models..in a gasser anyway

i can't wait to bring mine to the next autocross meet

I thought the same thing. I knew the bottoms came out but not that the passenger seat back went flat.

I've had my wagon for almost two years and only a few months ago did I figure out that the seat bottoms came out so easily. I figured it out after I unbolted them to remove them to haul some stuff. There is a red button on the underside of the seat bottoms that release them, and the pull right out.

My favorite part was when, for some reason, a bear hopped into the back of the car.
